More about this scene

Nearby lies the churchyard; here we can find the grave of James Parker, who was brutally murdered outside the village in 1886. Parker was a young seaman, who having arrived at Southampton, made his way across country with another member of the crew. They called at a pub, and the next day Parker's battered body was found in a field. His companion was later caught and confessed to the murder.

Hello people, my time at Kings Worthy as a young girl - remembering dancing at our local social club where the locals made us welcome. A beautiful place, I remember the park where I made lots of friends. Girls of St Margarets that I can recall, I often wonder what became of them: Angie from Hawley, Hants.  Dawn with a hamster. Sonia who dedicated time to the handicapped home along with myself for a while, and Debs from Aldershot. Hope you see this girlies. x
